A man arrested for appropriating donations from La Palma and selling them in second-hand stores

The scammer offered to transfer to La Palma in three containers all the donations that an association in Tenerife had received

The value of the donations recovered by the Civil Guard amounts to 15,000 euros

The Civil Guard has arrested a man as the author of a crime of fraud for appropriating donations from La Palma and selling them in second-hand stores. The value of the recovered amounts to 15,000 euros.

The detainee offered his help to a charity association in Tenerife to transport the belongings and food that he had managed to collect to La Palma. Posing as a manager of a false solidarity association, the scammer contributed the three containers to load them with all the donations.

After the transport was delayed, the affected association contacted him to find out the reasons for the delay, and received in response a video in which several people were seen unloading and distributing belongings. However, the images were old and did not correspond to any real transfer to the island of La Palma.

Investigators have verified that the containers are in the same place where they were filled, in the town of San Isidro.

Civil guards of Granadilla de Abona (Tenerife) have carried out several searches authorized by the investigating court number 4 of that town.

María Gámez recalled that “the Demographic Challenge brings together different dimensions of the population, referring both to the structure of the pyramid, and to the location or living conditions of a person. For this reason, dealing with it encompasses different aspects such as depopulation, aging, the effects of the floating population, masculinization, territorial dispersion or migration ”.

The Civil Guard in Spain's Demographic Challenge

• The promotion of R + D + i projects, such as the use of drones to monitor these areas.
• The creation of a Project Coordination Office to design initiatives throughout the deployment –including the Demographic Challenge Spain– capable of attracting financing from European recovery funds.
• A pilot test is being carried out to expand the Prior Appointment system –currently operational for Arms and Explosives procedures- to the presentation of complaints at Civil Guard posts.
• New technological solutions are being studied and developed, such as Mobile Offices (in the style of those that have operated in high season on the Camino de Santiago) and the expansion of the SIGO Mobility application, which allows service patrols to access on-site and moment to information of interest. (The areas of Valencia, Murcia and much of Andalusia already have it, as well as the Albacete and Cáceres commanderies and the Majadahonda Company).
• Collaboration with local police is promoted, especially in the framework of the protection of victims of gender violence.
